Anyone know of a way of a good opensource/free program that will help me scan a site for all broken link the site contains? I found a program called "Xenu's Link Sleuth" but I'm not sure if anyone has it or tried it? How about any other programs/software you'd recommend?

I learned "Hypovolemic Shock" from Blade, of course! You know, the scene at the end, where they put Wesley Snipes in that coffin that cuts his wrists crossways and it always makes me say, "That much blood won't come out! Do it right! It's down the block, not across the street! GRARRARRAH!"

It's probably not healthy that I get upset when people don't know how to properly cut their wrists, is it?

I'm getting fired this afternoon and re-hired tomorrow morning. Something about a paperwork screw-up for the end of the fiscal year today. So I haveto jump through all of the "you've been canned" hoops because some dipshit in HR sucks at her job.

I tell all students that I teach that the last class a HR person takes for their degree is HR 666- Directed Study with Satan. In this course they learn how to lie, cheat and steal in order to cover their ass when they make the types of mistakes your living the nightmare of today.

Make sure the date of hire on their records stays at what it was. Lenght of service (even in a non-union setting) can play a role in things like: how many vacation/sick days you get each year, who gets laid-off and who stays, retirment benefits, promotions, ability to apply for other positions, etc. Even a short period of time can make a huge difference. For examlpe, it could make a big difference if your company adopted a policy that everybody hired after June 30, 2010 no longer gets health care coverage and doesn't get any paid vacation.

so I'm not too worried about the implications within this particular employer. However, I'm really looking forward to answering, "yeah, I canned," to all future employers. THAT'll help my chances, that's for sure...

Wow. Read Blazefire and The Fannman's posts again and ask yourself "what is the likelihood of anything good coming from my sacrifice?" I realize the dynamics and politics of the workplace are a factor, but you should think about getting the right people on your side and fighting this one - or you may pay dearly for someone else's mistake.

Remember, years down the road as people and positions change, there may be no one to remember the context of the situation. The paperwork will probably not say, "Reason for termination: Blue in South Bend is a hell of a worker but took the fall for H.R. Fuckup, Jr's huge ass clerical error." This is especially true when H.R. Fuckup Jr. is the one who fills out the paperwork.

You should at least ask about these issues and you definitely deserve a better explanation than "something about a paperwork screw-up."

He needs to be beaten senseless with the same whiffle ball bat we're going to use on the idiot that comes up with the Little Caesars Dumbass Daddy commercials. You know, the idiot that can't remember side orders and thinks he can feed his family with a $5 Hot and Ready.
